The submodule helper update_clone called by "git submodule update",
clones submodules if needed. As submodules used to have the URL indicating
if they were active, the step to resolve relative URLs was done in the
"submodule init" step. Nowadays submodules can be configured active without
calling an explicit init, e.g. via configuring submodule.active.
Then we'll fallback to the URL found in the .gitmodules, which may be
relative to the superproject, but we do not resolve it, yet.
To do so, factor out the function that resolves the relative URLs in
"git submodule init" (in the submodule helper in the init_submodule
function) and cal it at the appropriate place in the update_clone helper.
